Your sql errors are because you have an extra comma in your get_post() function which makes sql think you want to select another row from the table.
[syntax=php]
function get_post($pid){
$pid = (int)$pid;

$sql = "SELECT
`post_title` AS `title`,
`post_body` AS `body`,
`post_user` AS `user`,
`post_date` AS `date`,
FROM `posts`
WHERE `post_id` = {$pid}";
$post = mysql_query($sql);
echo mysql_error();
$post = mysql_fetch_assoc($post);
$post['comments'] = get_comments($pid);


return $post;
}[/syntax]Remove the comma and that should get rid of all the sql errors you mentioned

Your second undefined variable error is because you have: [syntax=php]$comments = mysql_query($pid);[/syntax]
In your while loop you are using: [syntax=php]While (($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($comment)) !== false){[/syntax]
<?php while(!$succeed = try()); ?>

All I told you to do was add an s on to $comment or it is undefined. All your sql errors will stop once you revert it back to the way you had it and add the s
<?php while(!$succeed = try()); ?>
